Interface IFakeable

All Known Subinterfaces:

Emote, ListedEmote, PrivateChannel, SelfUser, User, Webhook

public interface IFakeable

Marks a fakeable entity.
A fake entity (isFake() is true) is an entity which is not directly related to this instance of JDA or this JDA shard.
An example would be a fake User.
A fake user can occur when sharding. Discord only sends private messages to Shard 0. If a User which is connected to Guilds on shard 1 sends a private message to the logged in account, it is received on Shard 0. However, if Shard 0 does not know about the User due to not having a Guild connection with them, it will use the information provided in the MESSAGE_CREATE event to create a temporary fake user. In this case, the associated PrivateChannel is also fake!

Another example would be a fake Emote. If a user sends a message containing an Emote from a Guild that the currently logged in account is not a part of, JDA will construct a fake Emote object for it.
